Thank you for letting me back in, Discourse!

So... long time lurker, then long time poster, then... long time... expelled?

Basically, as the discourse forums came, i tried to re-register. It said i'll get an activation mail.
Which i got about 5 days later and noticed another 5 days later, so the activation link wasn't valid anymore.
So I had it re-sent.
Which I'm not sure if it ever came.

So I thought "fuck you, it's not as my comments had any value anyway", and went on unregistered and unposting for about half a year or something.

And now I really felt the urge to vote in the numpad usage poll, so I clicked it, and... YAY, I can login with facebook! KTHXHI.

Round of applause for discourse for finally letting me in, please!

(But I do really like the realtime preview. Except afaik, star text star should be bold, and underscore text underscore should be italics.)

I'm getting mail from discourse on any of the accounts that i've registered:

sockbot, jsbot, tcotcdck, zoidberg, sockadept all get emails now that they are active. all but sockbot and sockadept (the oldest) needed multiple sends ofer multiple days for the activation emails, Zoidberg required manual activation, because he never got the acitvation emails.

now that he's active he's getting mail occasionally.

it's really weird. I'm wondering if i'm on a softbounce list or something in mandril because all those accounts get delivered to the same inbox through the magic of email aliases...

Discurse uses _ for italics, in defiance of common sense, but it ALSO uses *, because @codinghorror or someone else is an utter moron. You want bold, you use **.

I don't even know how you /get/ underline, but apparently it's not with /.

Markdown was like that all along. The only way you can blame CDCK for this is for selecting to support MD in the first place; MD is pretty weird in places. (You can also blame CDCK for bugs in the implementation, but this isn't one of them. The spec itself is busticated.)

I think using Markdown by itself would have been fine. Reddit doesn't have any issues with it.
